n Billy Jo Brian Vanzandt, 32, of Minneapolis, pleaded guilty Friday to a felony charge of check forgery for writing more than $7,000 in bad checks on another man's account.

As part of a plea agreement, another felony for check forgery will be dismissed and he will pay restitution. He will be sentenced Oct. 8.

The charges were filed after Willmar Police were called on Oct. 5 to investigate a check forgery. A man reported that he'd been notified by a check cashing business that checks had been written on insufficient funds on his checking account. The man said he'd not used the account for some time and suspected his roommate, Vanzandt, at Becker House in Willmar.

The investigation re-vealed that eight checks had been written in September and October on the account for a total of $7,025, all to Billy Vanzandt. The check cashing business turned over the identification, of Vanzandt, used in each of the transactions.
